The law passed by Parliament in 1773 in May month was Tea Act 1773.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tea Act 1773 was passed in May 1773 by Parliament in order to place tax aiding to raise fund for British East India Company on the major colonies under the British East India Colonial rule for the import of tea.

This act was intended to leap out the economy of British East India out of crisis but the Boston Tea Party culminating in such act led to the Rebellion in December by down shedding of the tons of tea into the port. Parliament took the resistance into harsh intend and led to another Coercive Acts, 1774.
